Looks like you are right.  I thought it would automatically use it if
it was available on the system and I enabled it in config.modules.
Especially since it still went through pcre detection, because I saw
output from configure that said,

checking pcre.h usability... yes
checking pcre.h presence... yes
checking for pcre.h... yes

However, further down I disovered it said,

checking for pcre_compile... no
checking for pcre_study... no
checking for pcre_exec... no

because it did not use -lpcre.

Enabling it with the configure option, --enable-pcre, seems to have
corrected that, although I have not recompiled and tested it yet.

I would still think it should not crash because of a missing feature.
If you still would like a backtrace to find that problem, I will try
to get around to recompiling it with debugging turned on and generate
one for you.  Just let me know.
